Quick take

  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $102, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

New York has some of the highest hospital prices in the country, driven by extreme labor costs, regulatory complexity, and the dominance of large academic medical systems - NewYork-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, Northwell, and Mount Sinai all command substantial commercial rate premiums. Upstate New York prices are substantially lower than the NYC metro area. The No Surprises Act and state-level billing protections apply, but the baseline rates themselves remain among the nation's highest. Mammogram pricing splits along two axes: screening vs. diagnostic classification and facility type. Screening mammograms are covered at 100% under the ACA's preventive care mandate for most commercial plans, but a finding during screening that triggers additional views or a diagnostic repeat converts a $0 visit to a cost-sharing event. Hospital-based breast imaging centers add facility fees that freestanding imaging centers don't charge - typically 2–3× higher for the identical study.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $102 versus $150 inpatient (about 1.5× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Whether the scan happens in a hospital outpatient department (which adds a separate facility fee) or a freestanding imaging center is usually the single biggest driver of price for this procedure.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$102
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$20
Out-of-network provider $224+

What matters before you schedule

ASC vs. hospital

Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than ASCs or independent centers for the same mammogram - same outcome, very different bill. The ER charges the most of any setting and should only be used when the situation is medically urgent. Call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote at each setting you're considering.

Cost by type

Which type your doctor orders for this mammogram changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: Billed as preventive care - often covered at $0 under the ACA when you are average-risk and in-network.

Screening vs. diagnostic

Under the ACA, preventive services - including mammogram for average-risk adults - must be covered at $0 with no cost-sharing when performed in-network. The risk: A screening mammogram is covered at $0 under the ACA. If a finding requires additional views or ultrasound, it converts to a diagnostic mammogram and cost-sharing applies - the single most common mammogram billing surprise.

What to ask before you book

Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for mammogram before you schedule.
